In the dead of night, a woman in her early twenties, her clothes disheveled and caked in mud, leaped through the forest.
"Who's there?!" a voice called out, and she stopped.
"Uchiha Mikoto," the woman replied, her three-tomoe Sharingan proving her identity.
"Lady Mikoto!"
…
"By my calculations, Mikoto should be back at the Konoha camp by now," Zangetsu mused in his cave. He extinguished the fire, stood up, and stretched. He then leaped to the top of a tall tree. The moon was bright, and the stars dotted the sky. It was a beautiful night, matching his excellent mood.
"It's a pity. Physical pleasure could only raise the progress to 62%. It's still a long way from 81%."
For the past while, he had been using his Mind Transfer and his "exceptional traits" to have a deep exchange with Mikoto. His skilled and energetic performance had left her breathless and willing, raising her progress from 51% to the 62% "Ambiguous/Intimate" stage. But after that, no matter how masterful he was, he couldn't push it any further.
"But it's enough. I never expected my luck to be this insane. I randomly obtained Mikoto's Uchiha bloodline and had it strengthened. It directly solved the incompatibility problem with my Mangekyo Sharingan."
"Furthermore, the strengthened Uchiha bloodline has made it so I can use my Mangekyo abilities almost without limit, just like Obito with Hashirama's cells. The side effects are now minimal."
"This luck… am I using a cheat engine?"
He was still in a bit of a daze, finding it all hard to believe. His luck was just too broken. First, he randomly got Mikoto's Mangekyo Sharingan. Second, he randomly got her Uchiha bloodline. The probability was as low as pulling six five-star characters in a single ten-pull in Genshin Impact. But it wasn't impossible.
"Next up, the Iwagakure battlefield. I hope Uchiha Fugaku doesn't disappoint me."
After marveling at his own invincible luck, Zangetsu looked toward the battlefield with the Stone Village. He decided to pay a visit to his "love rival," Uchiha Fugaku.
When he had reached 61% progress with Mikoto, the system had updated with a new "Rival" section. And Uchiha Fugaku was designated as his rival because his relationship status with Mikoto ("Married Couple") was higher than Zangetsu's. Defeating a rival was an indirect way to increase romance progress.
But there was more. The system offered another reward: "Defeat a rival to obtain one of the rival's abilities."
That was too tempting to refuse. Uchiha Fugaku currently possessed the Mangekyo Sharingan. If he could defeat him and obtain his eyes… Zangetsu was very excited.
Beyond that, he had another idea. He wanted to see if he could replace Fugaku and infiltrate Konoha. He now had the Uchiha bloodline and the Sharingan. If the Uchiha clan gave him a reasonable cover story, Konoha would never suspect him. And getting into Konoha meant he could pursue Uzumaki Kushina, whose value—with her Uzumaki bloodline, the Nine-Tails, and her sealing jutsu—was also incredibly high.
And finally, there were the unknown rewards for the 91-99% and 100% tiers. That was the real reason he was willing to take this gamble.
Before I leave, I should settle some old scores.
He was a vengeful person. Kengetsu, his father, and the scout captain Kiri—they were all on his kill list.
That night, Mikoto returned to the Konoha camp. She did not reveal any information about Zangetsu, only saying that she had encountered an Elite Jonin from the Hozuki clan and had barely escaped. No one suspected her. She had only been gone for six or seven hours, and no one would dare probe the memories of the Uchiha clan leader's wife at such a critical time. To do so could trigger a rebellion from the Uchiha clan.
And if that happened, Konoha would surely fall.
